Would be much healthier for humanity overall if these poorly managed companies, you know, just died from their poor management.
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoOr at least outsourced the software engineering to companies that would do a proper job of it.
- usefulcat 4y agoWhich would probably still cost more than what they’re willing to pay, assuming that (cost) is indeed the problem.
- flir 4y agoI've found that paying companies a big pile of cash to do a thing is much more acceptable than paying an individual a big pile of cash to do the same thing. I don't know why. Risk management maybe.
- irrational 4y agoIf the person is a full time employee you have to pay benefits and you can’t just fire them when the project is done. Easier to just contract it out.
- ismailegilmez 4y agoYeah, I totally agree with that. It might be better to just contract the job out.
- vanilla_nut 4y agoIf recent US policy is any indication, it's far more likely that we'll give them billions of dollars of direct subsidy in a misguided attempt "protect American interests."
- denkmoon 4y agoWe're protecting jobs you see. People need jobs to survive, so we have to protect the jobs, not the people. By giving companies money.

- cbozeman 4y agoToo bad, so sad. They can adapt or die. Reminds me of a back and forth I had with an NYT staff writer who claimed it was "inhumane" to expect people to totally relearn a set of skills every ten years. People seem to forget that how they "feeeeeeeel" doesn't matter. The job market dictates what you do and don't have to do, and we live in a time when you must consistently learn new skills to be competitive.

- denkmoon 4y agoI fully agree. Businesses can adapt or die. They shouldn't receive handouts because they're "job creators", and they certainly shouldn't be rewarded for having inefficient labour practices.
